So we have basically 3 different reasons to backup:
- To archive our work (incremental backup)
- To restore our OS after a hardware failure (clone)
- To restore our OS after a software failure (backdated clone so you
don't copy the problem to your new installation and Preference settings
for all programs saved - if you know where they are. Where ARE most of
them?)
Am I missing anything?

And let's not forget
to have ones documents after the computer has been stolen!
Yes, this happened to me. Fortunately, the thief couldn't be bothered
with the separate hard drive on which I had my documents and
applications.
An excellent point. One of the main reasons for offsite backups
by businesses (since you can not rely on the thief being so
kind), along with fire, flood, tornado, <insert favorite
disaster>.
